At the beginning of Acts 19, Paul is sharing with believers about baptism. He asks them what baptism they received. These believers share that they had received John’s baptism. In verse four, Paul explains that John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance and that John told the people to believe in the one coming after him, Jesus. Then all those people were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus!
Have you made the decision to follow Jesus? Have you been baptized? If you have asked Jesus to be the King of your life, but you haven’t been baptized yet, why not? This is a good time to talk to your mom and dad about the next step in following Jesus, which is to obey through baptism! Maybe you aren’t sure exactly what baptism means, or maybe you have other questions. You can ask your KXP Leaders for a book that tells you all about Baptism and what it means!
Pray: God, thank you for my family that cares so much about me to tell me about baptism. Help me to understand why this is an important step to take as a follower of Jesus and help me lead by example in obedience through baptism.
